Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2014 - Māori Language Week 2014 - Monday 21 July – Sunday 27 July 2014 (Term 3, Week 1)
‘Te Kupu o te Wiki’, which translates as The Word of the Week.”

Under this theme, a new Māori word will be highlighted each week for fifty weeks. All schools, communities and organisations are encouraged to introduce and adopt that word with students, staff etc.






From July 2014, 50 Māori words will be introduced nationally over 50 weeks. We’ll introduce one Māori word each week, adding it to our vocabulary. After 50 weeks, 50 Māori words will have been added to the national vocabulary.
